You should be able to unzip the tests anywhere. Sure that means you will have a lot of choice and may have to make hard decisions<g>. Besides, I'm not sure one can compile all the tests in just one executable or that it would be wise. There would be quite a high risk of naming conflicts between the tests, and that executable would have to link with tons of libraries for instance. -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fgouget.free.fr/ Dieu dit: "M-x Lumière".
